Welcome to THICK HITCHES, you awesome fat bitches!

THICK HITCHES is a 3-day in-person rope conference with the emphasis on people and bodies who identify as fat. We focus mostly on Japanese-inspired rope bondage in all its forms: tying each other, self-tying, floor work, and suspension funsies. This is a space where fat is the norm, we celebrate our super powers, and agitate for the change we want in rope communities.

We open this invitation to self-identified fat people and their tying partners (of any size). We welcome all roles (rigger/tops, model/bottoms, switches, etc.), all knowledge levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), and all tying styles to this gathering that aims to bring practitioners who identify as fat together to celebrate their love for rope and exchange knowledge and experiences.

🌈 Note: We are very dedicated to making this event happen but we need a minimum amount of participants. We believe in you, so do believe in us and purchase your tickets as early as you can so we gauge the interest correctly. 🌈

Who is this event for?

Fat-identifying people and their partners (who do not need to be fat themselves).

This space is centering people who experience institutionalized fatphobia. If you’re unsure as to whether or not this applies to you, please consider:

Do you experience fatphobia in kink spaces?
Can you purchase clothing in ‘straight size’ shops?
Do you experience fatphobia in medical settings?
